Hotels near Ichinokawa Station, Aso

I stayed on a solo trip. It is a business hotel with hot springs. The hot spring is brown muddy water, and the bathtub in the bathroom is small, but it was just a good ４０ degree hot water temperature. There is a private bath ２ room and you can use it for free if you make a reservation. ３７ I was able to have a long bath with lukewarm water about degrees. For the price, the number of items was delicious with both evening breakfast and breakfast. The fried chicken from Enoha for dinner was delicious. The room was a clean single room and I was able to spend a relaxing time.

We are so happy we booked this hotel for heading to Mt Aso. First, the staff greeting was super warm and welcoming. The hotel is brand new and while our room was a great and functional design, the bed was the most comfortable western-style bed we’ve had in all of Japan! It’s location is super convenient if you arrive by train (it’s across the street) and while they don’t really have dining facilities, there is a fun outdoor market right outside where we grabbed dinner: meat skewers, mustard greens biscuit and a delicious craft beer (there is also ramen and a few other food choices).

I go as if I were going to a restaurant for dinner. There are many items and it is delicious. The bartender sometimes made a cocktail after the meal. The room is very normal. The desk is small for room drinks and makeup. The seven spillows of the futon are pleasant but you will have different tastes. I want a hot spring because it is Aso, but I think that if there is at least a large communal bath, the evaluation will be raised. I feel that breakfast has fallen in quality compared to before. １ There is a free coffee machine in the lobby on the floor.

A traditional onsen hotel, recently renovated and facilities modernised. The twin bed room is large - about 50 sq m in size. In addition, there is a balcony overlooking an excellent view. The breakfast and dinner buffet are fine, though not very special. I like the Japanese style dinner better. The hotel is situated inside the mountain. Access is not easy. There are no shops nearby.

It was very good to stay in Room 35. It has a large space and two pools. The ventilation is very good. The only drawback is that the bathing area has signs of use and the interior of the room also has a sense of age, but overall it is comfortable. This time the package comes with dinner and breakfast. The dinner is about 70% suitable for the appetite, and the breakfast is about 50%. The dining room environment is very good. The service staff are also very kind and polite, and they can speak English. Overall, it costs NT$10,000 a night, with one hotel room and two meals. I happened to stay at Yufuin’s Kai for one night during this trip. In comparison, this hotel with a full meal has a high CP value.

Staffs were super friendly and helpful. Free pick-up service from the bus stop. As we arrived before check-in time, the driver dropped us at the main street and showed us where to eat and how to walk back to ryokan. The ryokan kindly offered us early check-in. Luggages were in the room already when we arrived. Front desk staff explained everything clearly. We could only book the private onsen once. Private onsen number one is a bit small, and the water was not hot enough, but the view is pretty with a small garden and rock mountain. I love the large outdoor onsen (for hotel guests only). Water was hot. Beutiful environment and great atmosphere. Changing room was clean and spacious. The smaller outdoor onsen is for public. Room was a bit old and simple, but it came with a cute balcony which I didn't expect. Food was great. Dinner was served in room, and breakfast was served in breakfast room. Overall a great ryokan experience.

I booked at a 2 meal plan for 1 night. I will describe the good points and the points I noticed. ■ good points The rice served at the cherry blossom dinner was the best and delicious. I think the variety was ”akishiki”. The variety of side dishes was also abundant and quite satisfied. The rice at breakfast was another variety. The family bath was available for free 24 hours. The view from the open-air bath was good and the hot spring was comfortable. The hot water is relatively hot. I was very grateful for smokers because there was a room that could smoke. The cherry blossom room was prepared with a number of PET bottles of drinking water. There was also free wifi and it was a stay that was not inconvenient at all. ■ Nothing I noticed was that there was no cotton swab in the cherry blossom open-air bath. It was properly prepared for family baths. I was grateful to be able to prepare an open-air bath. It was possible to adjust with a credit card, but JCB cards were not available. I have stayed at a hot spring inn like 々 so far, but considering the price and service, it is a recommended inn. I wanted to repeat again.

The Yamanami highway runs to Beppu area, and it turns to the left side of Kurokawa Onsen from the intersection with national route 442 where the rest house of Seno is located. Since several years ago, national route 442 has changed to a new road, and it is easy to run with a margin of road width. This inn is ”Ryokan Wakaba”. There seems to be a lot of guests in GoTo travel, and there is no space to stop in the free parking lot, so the key is left at the front desk. The night meal is room meal. When you sit in the seat and look at the drink menu, the drink using ginger seems to be delicious. When Nakai comes, you order ”ginger sweet sake” which is said to be the least alcohol. The dishes are also carried in good procedure. The dishes unique to Kumamoto are delicious, such as frost horse stab and red chicken after Kumamoto miso beef. However, Yakiniku in the room smells on the clothes. Breakfast is usually served in the hall on the first floor, but it is a lunch box in each room to prevent corona virus infection. Rice is cooked with a cherry blossom using shichijo rice, and the side dish is a delicious morning rice called 'rokuhon of kokokugo' and 'miso soup of shichijo rice, tsukitake and Minami Seki fried rice. The inn was friendly and the response was good and the hot spring was pleasant.

The Manager and staff were amazing and so helpful - Probably the best service we had all trip from 7 different stays. We had the dining experience and not only was the food wonderful, they even change our food when we said we were scared of trying the Horse & Chicken Sashimi. The view from the in-room onsen was brilliant. If you want to be critical then its a 10min walk to the village centre but thats why we choose this Hotel plus we just drove to the village centre - so simple. To the Manager - Please thank your staff for making our stay here an amazing one.
